The Statue of Liberty has become an iconic symbol of America and its ideals. It has welcomed millions of immigrants who arrived in America through nearby Ellis Island, and inspired countless people around the world with its message of hope and freedom. The statue is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a National Monument, administered by the National Park Service. It attracts millions of visitors every year, who can admire its beauty and history, and climb to its crown or pedestal for a panoramic view of the city.
